Aghios Gordios Hotel Reviews

Agios Gordios is a lovely resort, picturesque and very friendly. The beach is great, and the sea can be a bit choppy at times – great fun! There are many tavernas and cafes in the town – we were there for two weeks and we didn’t get to visit all of them! Prices are very similar wherever you go. The food is delicious – if you do visit, make sure you go to Linda’s restaurant. The food there is amazing, and the décor is lovely, very posh, and the prices are the same as everywhere else. Agios Gordios is a perfect place for a relaxing holiday, and you will definitely make a few new friends while you are there. And I’m sure that we’ll go there next year as well, staying of course at the Natasa House.

Ag.Gordios has the best beach in Corfu. It is slightly shingly for a couple of metres but after that it is sandy and quite shallow. Sun beds can be rented for up to 8 euros a day, but Ark Bar lets you use their for free if you buy their drinks! The only cashpoint is a the olive oil shop and there are many places to change money/cash travellers cheques. You can also rent cars, scooters and quads for reasonable prices. We would recommend the Ecological Pool at the Aloha Hotel as it has stunning views, is clean and has the best pool bar in the resort. It is up the hill from Alexandros, which is steep but not far and is worth it compared to ther other public pools. The restaurant there, The Sea View, does an amazing mixed grill for 18 euros and again has stunning views. Zefyros on the beach also does great food, as does Sebastians Taverna, Sea Breeze. Lithos does amazing english breakfasts for 6 euros and Time Out bar has free internet access for it's customers. Corfu Town is amazing and is only 30 mins away buy bus, costing 2 euros per person each way. The bus back to Ag.Gordios leaves from the Green Bus Station by the New Fortess. Corfu Town has amazing views and the Old Town/Esplanade are stunning. There are loads of shops, bars and museums and a taxi in the evening back to Ag.Gordios is about 20-25 euros.

Unless you're hiring a car, Aghios Gordios offers one major beach, which is mostly sand with some pebble patches, and takes about ten minutes to walk along. A boardwalk runs almost the length of the beach along the back (the beach is about 10 metres deep) so it's easy for buggies/wheelchairs users. Although the weather was poor for the first part of our holiday (very windy, with several hours of rain) even when it improved there was often a mild to strong breeze off the sea. The surf is quite noisy which can be intrusive - we could hear it on our balcony, 100 metres from the shore. There are half a dozen restaurants and bars along the beach and another dozen along the road that runs to it. Most beach front restaurants are up a flight of stairs. All the restaurants on the road, except Alexis and Nikis, face onto the road; Nikis has a very pretty courtyard. There are two places offering free internet access to customers. The range of vegetarian dishes available in resort is limited, but what there is is good (Nikis offers a bowl of olive oil with garlic in it to accompany a Greek salad): we didn't have a bad meal, just repetitive ones. There are mosquitoes, which are friendly, as are the locals - all the restaurant staff spoke English. We have no idea what the nightlife is like, as after dinner we were happy to go back to the apartment, but there were two places offering dancing till late.
